A film made by young people supported by Hope Support Services (hopesupportservices.org.uk) who have a close family member who has recently been diagnosed with a potentially life threatening illness.

"We were quite overwhelmed at how much time and thought young people put into the project and how well they managed to express and articulate their thoughts and feelings. The end result was a powerful tool that we can use to give new service users, professionals, schools and colleges an understanding of what we do." Sammy Jay Powell, Youth Development Officer
